    Not into basketball at all, but even I know who this guy is.......was....

    why even attempt to fly a chopper in bad visibility though? even the police chopper pilots refused to take off.

    This is exactly the sort of hyped up BS news that I abhor ~ nine, repeat *nine* people died in the accident ... but only the rich&famous get a mention (and have the incident associated with their name) ; abysmal ... the other 8 souls don't matter?

    Gazillions of people die every day....but musicians, actors, sportsmen etc get singled out. Whats the problem with that?

    Jeez, we have posts about musicians every week here.

    I don't give a sh*t about basketball, but he was a person of note..sorry, maybe me, but I just don't get the hostility. No one is denigrating the other victims....well, maybe the pilot, but he had permission I heard.
